Ghost In School
Nurse Christen had been feeling weird for a long time now although it has been four years, and she couldn't get the kid out of her head. She remembered the time they did tests on her and the things that happened. ***Flashback***
4 years ago.
Nurse Christen came back from the restroom, she went into the office but she was surprised to see that the baby wasn't there with her parents.
"She has been taken to the ward." The doctor said. Nurse Christen didn't know why but she could feel that something was wrong. She rushed to the ward as the parents and doctor followed after her even when she was being called, she didn't say anything till she got to the ward. She opened the door only to see that the baby was crying so loudly and pinching the nurse that was in charge of her.
The doctor tried to rescue the nurse from the doctor but he couldn't.
The parents tried to carry the baby but she was holding unto the nurse's face so tightly. Everyone was worried and scared at the same time.
Nurse Christen got closer to the baby, she stretched forth her hand and when Amelia saw her, she left the nurse and accepted Nurse Christen. The nurse carried her and Amelia started smiling.
"Nurse Celine, please see to your face." The doctor said.
The nurse that Amelia pinched nodded and left the room feeling sad and her face was hurting.
"If you don't mind Doc, I'll take it from here." Nurse Christen said.
The doctor looked at her trying to get confirmation if she was sure. She nodded and the doctor gestured for the parents to leave while the nurse attends to the baby. With worried looks on their faces, Andre and Laura left the room leaving their baby with Nurse Christen.
Nurse Christen placed the baby gently on the cot as she got the injections ready. She had no idea when she started talking to the baby.
"I have no idea who or what you are but I can't help but wonder what sort of being are you." She said as the baby looked at her and smiled. "What exactly are you?" She asked as she gave the baby the injection, drawing out her blood. She was surprised to see the baby didn't even cry but was smiling and giggling. "Could there be something wrong with you?" She carried the baby and looked at her. All of a sudden, Amelia closed her eyes and slept. Nurse Christen couldn't help but stare at the baby in amazement.
***Reality***
She sat on the chair thinking about that event when her daughter came to her. Her daughter is six years old. She wears glasses because she can't see clearly. "Mom, are you OK?" She asked.
The nurse carried her daughter on her lap. "I don't know honey," she replied. "I don't know but I'll be fine." She touched her daughter's face.
"I thought you said you wanted to check on someone, aren't you going?" Her daughter asked.
"I will Claire. I'm just thinking if it's a good reason."

Amelia got into her new school and her new class but she didn't interact with any students because she was scared to even when some kids tried to make acquaintance with her, she ignores them.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
It was break time and Amelia decided it was time for her to get some fresh air. She went out of the class and to the field when she noticed two ghosts playing with some kid's hair. The sight was funny because the boy thought it was the wind that was messy with his hair, the more he kept fixing his hair, the more the ghosts kept messing up his hair. Amelia was enjoying the scene when the ghost turned to face her. Amelia quickly looked away and quickened her steps. It would be weird if the ghosts finds out she could see them.
The ghosts noticed that Amelia saw them and they followed her immediately.
"Little girl." They called Amelia but she pretended not to hear them. "Hey, I know you can see us." One of the ghosts said.
Amelia, don't look back at them... just keep going. Amelia thought to herself but she couldn't, she turned to face them. One was the ghost was in her early twenties and one was in her early thirties. "You can see us?" The one in her early twenties asked.
"Of course, she can!" The other ghost answered.
Amelia stood there watching them contest who was right and who is wrong. Her ears were about to explode. She looked at the ground and saw a rock, she picked it up and threw it at them. The ghosts left her but something else happened to the rock she threw.
"Ouch!" She heard a voice whine. Amelia looked and she saw a boy rubbing his forehead. It was then she knew that the rock she threw touched the boy instead of the ghost.
She rushed to meet him. "I'm so sorry." She apologized. "I didn't see you there. I am very sorry."
"It's fine but geez.... you should watch next time." The boy said while rubbing his temple.
Amelia smiled. "I'll be careful next time."
"My name is Devon... Devon Smith." The boy introduced himself with a smile.
"I'm Amelia." She managed to say.
"Nice to meet you."
"Same. I have to go now! Bye!" Amelia rushed to leave as the boy swallowed back his words.
The poor boy was looking forward to having lunch with her at the cafeteria. He needed a friend and just when he thought he had found one, she left him alone after saying few words to him.
This is the first time Amelia is having a conversation with a human other than her parents. All her life her conversations have been with ghosts. Is it possible for her to give this new experience a chance? Or will she run away from it?
